Travis Can't Post First

It's been more than 24 hours since the Judge's last narrative post. ENS needs to post in the next 24 hours, or another PC needs to post on his behalf in the same time frame.

Jake is closest to the professor at this time; if Jake is willing it makes most sense to the Judge for him to step in, if needed.

Thanks for the post, ENS. Glad to see your validation of Jake's post on the professor's behalf. The Judge is adjudicating the round.

Re: Travis Can't Post First

It's been 48 hours since the Judge's last narrative; ENS is the remaining player to post. The professor himself or another PC needs to post within 24 hours or the Judge will proceed with the professor standing still for a moment and mulling over the current situation.

Re: Travis Can't Post First

It has been 24 hours since the Judge's last narrative. Two PCs remain to post (Jake and Travis). As it was a holiday weekend, the Judge will give a little more time for their posts, before asking for other PCs to post. Look for another message later today for the "24-hour-warning").

(BTW, no players had informed the Judge of being unable to post during the holidays . . .)

Re: Travis Can't Post First

Re: Chapter 19, msg #1 and Fort Saves.

Remember that a Fort Save may be modified by Action Points. Remember that, as per page 49, characters with at least 8th level may roll 2d6 when using an Action Point, keeping the highest of the two dice as a result.

If this is a sonic attack can one use evasion.  Asking for a friend.

Re: Travis Can't Post First

In reply to Travis Sunday (msg # 14):

Evasion applies to "any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw." This is a Fortitude saving throw, so . . . no.

Having said that, any class features or feats that apply to "Fortitude saving throws" would be used.

Re: Travis Can't Post First

A couple of things:

Reminder that we are in free posting mode now. The Judge won't be providing narrative summaries. The Judge is currently playing Lu Heng Bo. Xu's man will help any PCs who are working to figure out the way forward, based on his knowledge of the situation -- which isn't all knowing, e.g., he doesn't know about the hatch that Travis discovered. The highbinder knows some things that the PCs don't, e.g., he knows the essence of Mr. Xu's plan to move the women once in the boat, but he can't know whether any lawmen, fishermen or other citizens came to the cave-explosion site or whether Xu and his boat will be at the appointed place at this time. Therefore, the PCs need to lead the way forward -- which the PCs have started, the Judge is simply endeavoring to be clear about that.

The results of the Fort Save against hearing loss:
  • Cole 13 total (25%)
  • Travis 12 total (25%)
  • ENS 21 total (10%)
  • Jake 15 total (25%)
  • JEB 26 total (10%)
  • Art 20 total (10%)

For now, the temporary hearing loss is still making speech impossible. To facilitate game-play, the Judge will state that this condition will persist for several minutes before any of the men regain any degree of normal hearing. The PCs must continue the process of communicating non-verbally on order to continue their mission to rescue the captives. As of now, the Judge views that mission as incomplete.

Re: Travis Can't Post First

A reminder.
The players are in control of moving the plot forward, right now. Nothing is stopping any PC from posting narrative to advance. No one should be waiting for the Judge.

Interesting. Sounds like it's a done deal at this point, based upon the two posts from jase in the "RPoL Announcements" thread this morning.

The Judge said nothing of the sort. I simply referred you to a message from the RPoL admins.

The Judge does in fact make an annual contribution to RPoL. You should see my username on the next report of donations.
